Dear students of the Lithuanian language,

I am back with a video for those who are just starting to learn Lithuanian. In this video, I will introduce myself in the first person and introduce my partner in the third person. Also, I will speak about us together in the first person plural. I hope that this video will help you to develop the relevant vocabulary and grammar to introduce yourself to others. 

If you wish to do some additional exercises, I have added them together with the video's transcript on my Contribee account. You will find all the links here:
